Just Dessert

I don't care who you are or how much you protest: Everyone eats dessert sometimes. Everyone. This is another of Bob's creations. Its great because you prep it right before you make dinner, and by dessert time, its ready to GO.

Lemon Angel Food Cake with Berries

1 whole angel food cake (yes, from the store)
1 pint Sharon's Lemon Sorbet (Trader Joes, of course.)
1 cup fresh sliced strawberries
1 cup blueberries (you can use frozen, unsweetened)
1 tsp sugar

Melt the sorbet in the container either on the counter or in the microwave. Don't let it boil. Invert the cake, in its container, and take the bottom off. With a long skewer (or knife, or anything else poky that wont maul the cake) poke holes all over the cake, down to the bottom of the package. Pour the sorbet all over it, and place the bottom back over it to cover it. This protects it from cat hair in our house. Place the berries and sugar in a bowl and toss. Allow both to sit at room temp while you make dinner.

When you are ready for dessert, cut the cake into 12 portions and serve it with about 2 heaping tablespoons of berries.
